Joe, the way you phrased the topic ' what the hell did you get' makes you sound angry?

why are you angry? is because of Shenmue on the 360? or is it because of the gears?

Because nobody knows about the TRUE meaning of Christmas, which is all about some Jesus dip.

Just kidding, I don' t give a rat' s ass about Jesus, either. And I' m not angry. Shenmue 2 on the 360 doesn' t work very well, though. The 360 is not powerful enough for Shenmue, apparently.

The same thing I get every year, about 400$-500$ total from various relatives, plus a few stocking stuffers.

Mom-80$
Grandma-?
Grandpa-60$
Aunt-?

Grandpa=75$
Grandma=100$ (they are still together, married for 52 years yet they each give me a cheque)
Uncle2=10$+ a book (I only see him once every few years)
Unce3=40$+ a book
Uncle4=60$
Aunt=40$

My Aunt and Grandma will probably give me money as well.

So far I bought a few books including the latest Halo novel Ghost of Onyx. There' s nothing really that I want. I' ll probably save my money for Windows Vista, a new power supply and a new DX10 card and I plan to upgrade next summer. I could buy a Wii or PS3, but neither of them seem remotely worth it yet. I' ll wait a year or two for those.

The best thing about this year is that I got to meet my first cousin on my dad' s side who was born last September. I have so many uncles and an aunt but for the longest time my brother and I were the only kids in the family. I' m 20 years older than my cousin which makes him look like he' s from a new generation.

My family, finally, after all these years have gotten me something I truly wanted and couldn' t acquire on my own.

My little sister, bless her soul, got me a brand new shiny Xbox360.
Finally my shame s gone. I can call myself a gamer again.

It' s almost enough to make me believe this holiday isn' t a bunch of commercial bullshit...

...almost.

My little sister, bless her soul, got me a brand new shiny Xbox360.
Finally my shame s gone. I can call myself a gamer again.

" Oh that' s just the plastic film on the disc tray and HDD. You have to take that off..."

For the last year I' ve had to endure the torture of being left in the last generation. Everytime I look at my entertainment center now, there' s a glowing aura of technological greatness. A holy glow that lets me know that once again everything is right in the world.
....sometimes I even hear a choir.

If you were a firefighter, I' d expect you to be at least a bit more familiar with the English language.

I got tons, these are the best of it:

Cash. cash cash cash!!!!
A helicopter ride.
The first 3 Crying Freeman books.
A Chocolate Fountain.
A ton of booze
The Viz annual.

And I gave my brother in law a remote contol Dalek. I really wish I' d kept it.

A helicopter ride.

I guess that was a tough one to rap.

I guess they have Firefighters in other country' s which don' t speak English Joe, But everybody knows Firefighters are Imaginary like the Lock-ness Monster and Religious People.
